It's pretty cool. I like the look of your mario. It is pretty confusing when the camera is inside obstacles however. From there you can't even tell the obstacle is there (since you can't see it) yet the character will still collide with it; thus the character appears to be colliding with thin air.
The legal issues are somthing you should be concerned about. I'll see if I can find the older thread in this forum about somebody else's Mario clone, but the gist of what people were pointing out is that Nintendo WILL harass you if they find out you are making a Mario game, even if it is freeware.

By the way, why is the download so huge? While downloading I just assumed there would be lots of texture images but once I actually played it there just appears to be Mario, a tiled image for the scenery, and a masked image for coins. So why the 2.5MB (zipped!) download?
